UK fisherman takes boat to petrol station to fill up on white diesel after red diesel price increase
A fisherman whose bill for red diesel has nearly doubled has hauled his boat out of the water and transported it to a petrol station to fill it with normal diesel and cut costs.
Seventh-generation fisherman Chris Attenborough, 34, says he can save up to 70p per litre if he uses white diesel, which is used by motorists across the country to fill up their vehicles.
He says that once he reclaims road duty and VAT it is cheaper for him to fill up at the garage forecourt than wait for a delivery of red diesel to the harbour in Whitstable, Kent.
Chris, from Herne Bay, said the hike in the price of red diesel has more than doubled his fuel bill - rising from £80-a-day to £170.
This has left him needing to catch more for a smaller cut and he warns of an inevitable rise in the price of fish.
